- England come into this T20 International having recorded a 5-0 ODI series win over Australia; they had only claimed one whitewash victory in a bilateral ODI series before (5+ matches played), beating Zimbabwe 5-0 in 2001. It was the first time England had ever managed a 5+ game whitewash over Australia, in any format.
- These two nations have met 14 times before in T20I cricket, Australia have won nine of those previous encounters (L5); they have inflicted defeat upon England five times in their last six meetings (L1).
- England have claimed victories in three of the four previous T20I matches played against Australia on home soil, including the last two such encounters.
- Australia have managed to win each of their last six T20I fixtures; last tasting defeat in October 2017 versus India.
- Conversely, England have suffered losses in four of the previous five T20I games they've been involved in; they did claim victory in the most recent outing however, a two-run win over the Black Caps in Hamilton (February 2018).
- England have played two T20I matches at Edgbaston and won both, seeing off South Africa and India in 2012 and 2014 respectively; they successful defended totals on both of those occasions.
- Alex Hales is approaching 1,500 T20I runs, he requires 44 to get there; only Eoin Morgan has achieved that feat for England.
- Eoin Morgan could become the player to feature most often in T20I fixtures between England and Australia, he's currently level with Luke Wright on 10 matches; Morgan posted 71 off just 31 balls in the last T20I match at this venue, helping England beat India by three runs there in 2014.
- Australia's Glenn Maxwell has averaged 83.3 across his six T20I knocks since the start of 2017, currently the best rate of any batsman in that time; one of those innings being an unbeaten 103 at Hobart versus England earlier this year.
- Kane Richardson dismissed Jason Roy in both games when these sides met in two T20Is earlier this year, doing so for the price of just seven runs (8 balls); the England opener has only been able to post 28 runs in three attempts versus Australia to date (9.3 average).
